| Description:
| Aims: To understand and apply concepts relating to computational modelling of human movement. Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this unit students should be able to: * Demonstrate an understanding of the role of computational modelling (mainly forward dynamics) techniques in the analysis of human motion. * Demonstrate a critical understanding of the role of muscle mechanics in the production of different types of human movement. * Demonstrate effective integration of written material in biomechanics. * Apply biomechanical knowledge in the construction of simple computer simulation models to address tasks relating to the effects of musculoskeletal geometry and adaptations on movement outcomes. * Produce a biomechanical report which incorporates results from modelling experiments. Skills: Knowledge and Understanding - taught, facilitated and assessed Intellectual Skills - facilitated and assessed Written Communication - facilitated and assessed Spoken communication - facilitated Information Technology - taught, facilitated and assessed Problem Solving - taught, facilitated and assessed Data Acquisition, Handling and Analysis - taught and facilitated Working Independently - facilitated and assessed Working as part of a group - facilitated Content: Contemporary issues in applying computational modelling techniques to human movement analysis; Critical analysis of different approaches to modelling human movement; Practical techniques in computer simulation modelling; Characterisation of muscle-tendon interactions during different types of locomotion; Modulation of muscle mechanics for different human motor outputs; Modelling of muscle-tendon interactions. |
